An open capillary tube is lowered in vessel with mercury. The difference between the levels of the mecury in the vessel and in the capillary tube `/_\h=4.6 mm`. What is the radius of curvature of the mercury meniscus in the capillary tube? Surface tension of mercury is `0.46N//m`, density of mercury is `13.6gm//"cc"`.

A

`(1)/(340)m`

B

`(1)/(680)m`

C

`(1)/(1020)m`

D

Information insufficient

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`triangleh=(2Scostheta)/(rrhog)=(2S)/(Rrhog)implies(2S)/(trianglehrhog)`
